I was in love with my best friend and still am. I told him through a letter since i'm bad at saying them out loud specially face to face. Yet, it still all about time and if your ready to say the truth to him and hoping what the naswer would be. the answer can go both ways no matter how you dream or put it. If you're willing to say it to him, then take him to a private place and talk about it and if he doesn't feel the same way then you guys can move past it with time but you have to get through the awkward faze too. when i did, he said no. we discussed and got through it but its obvious that something between us shifted and it's going to take time to be just friends again.

Its just the risk of it all if you're are willing to take that leap

I suggest you don't rush things. Give it some time until you are ready. You don't know if he/she feels the same way you do.

Dear "In love with my best friend, HELP PLEASE!",

OKay, this is a toughie! But totally doable. You'd be surprised how many people end up falling in love with their best friend. Before you decide to make your move, be sure that your really in love with him/her and just not in love with the idea.

Once you have that figured out, you have to weigh out your options. Yes, you could freak your friend out if you tell them and it could put an awkward atmosphere around the friendship BUT on the flip-side, you could tell them and the feeling could be mutual.

Either or, it's in my best advice that you ease this all in. I'm not so sure if it's the best thing to throw the "L" word at him/her because that may bring us to that freaked out scenario. Explain it in a more "Hey, I totally like you more than a friend" way. Suggest going out on a date maybe?

I mean, as best friends; you've done just about everything together but maybe this 90th time of going to the movies together could be a little different, ya'know?

Just know this: The truth is going to come out one-way or another so be the one to shine some light on the subject. It's okay to feel nervous, excited, maybe even queazy but just remember that, he/she is your best friend. Think of it as yet another secret you tell one another.

Crossing my fingers,

Braylen
